Im posting pics of some parts I received when i bought my !922 Canadian Model T. I havent been able to figure out what these are for and whether they are worth keeping. Maybe you might recognize some of these. TIA

The 2nd picture is a tool for turning on a Prestolite tank mounted on the runningboard while seated. By the time you get out of the car to light the headlights, there’s plenty of acetylene gas in the lines. The third picture is merely headlamp forks for a nonFord car.

The first picture looks like the top of some type of dual spare tire holder but I don’t really know

As for the headlight forks, it's hard to find good pictures but these are of some 1917 Overland Model 90 Touring or 1917 Overland Light Four Touring Cars. Yours may be that or near that year. The tight bend and the extra space for the light bar look the same. Several other cars bolted through the fender like that also.
